You know, just a couple of months ago this would have just been a minor crash that no one who didn’t have to drive in that area would have cared about.
It’s as depressing as the scene in Lucifer’s Hammer where the truck full of beef jerky (desperately needed by the food-strapped survivors) burns.
Those were industrial-sized rolls for public toilets and wouldn’t fit in your little household spindle, anyway.
How many drivers braved the flames to rescue the TP?
How many public toilets are still in significant use, anyway?
Around here, the redistribution of toilet-use from business areas to residential areas is significant enough that it’s threatening to overwhelm parts of the sewer systems.
Would they fit in my bathroom though? I’m not concerned about the esthetics in a pinch.
Oh, the humanity!
Now I wonder why we haven’t seen janitorial suppliers pivot to selling TP directly to the public rather than to institutions, like how some restaurants have been selling ingredients to individuals rather than prepared meals. I suppose a major part of is is that those companies aren’t set up to handle individual transactions like that.
I got Firefox warning me that it was a skeevy site, and do I really want to visit? When I clicked through, I got this:
It must be paper view.
When I Googled truck crash toilet paper that was the first site the search returned and it loaded just fine. Go figure…
If the truck had run off the highway into a swamp, the Brits would say it got bogged down.
That’s odd, because I’m on firefox and it’s not a problem for me? It’s a local nbc affiliate station for me, but here’s another link:
A real bummer.
Let’s all just put this behind us.
Whole shipment wiped out.
The dog survived!
sniff I love you guys!
As if this was an accident. In reality, this is an insidious plot by super-villainess Anis Buttfinger who seeks to destroy world stocks of toilet paper so the value of her own holdings increases by manyfold. Only quick action by an agent of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service can avert a Chinese-made nuclear device from being detonated in the warehouse vault of Proctor & Gamble, wiping out the free world’s reserves of this critical commodity.

Is that the guy who has all those beautiful naked women painted brown?
Hey! We’re on a roll here!

I thought it was because too many people seem to think that wiping your butt with something means it’s become flushable, and they’re flushing paper towels, “flushable” wipes (which really aren’t), and even disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, and even cut-up clothing.

This happened in my town a couple weeks ago. In this case, the cargo was saturated in a rainstorm.
